patience

My Grandmother always said that *patience is a virtue*. I got that a lot, because I was not very patient. I'm still not. I just manage to look like I am more patient. I want things, me, to change NOW even though I don't even know what those changes might look like. Well, I have some shadowy images but nothing I can really sink my teeth into. Nevertheless, I want to sink my teeth into something. Nothing seems to have much substance as yet. Therapy is okay. Got one thing to look at but no clue what to do with it. Alanon is an okay organization but I can't seem to find the *meat* in that either. Oh, yeah, I'm vegetarian. Well, can't find the tofu. Not even some beans. Well, maybe a bean or two. I got one assignment from my alanon sponsor. She hasn't read it yet. Frustrated! My A.A. sponsor would have been all over that in a few days. It's been weeks! Into action here! Come on! I need some direction. Yes, I know where to go for that too. But, it seems to be a waiting time for me or something. I HATE waiting. I want to DO something. So, I type. I write. I get little teeny, tiny bits of clue. But they only add to the puzzle. ERRR! No, I am not very patient.

I do have some fun with the dogs. Seuss' diet is now my job. No one else could stick to the feeding plan. He is pathetic, yes he is. He sits by his bowl and waits hours before mealtime. But he needs to lose some weight. I plan to take him to the Humane Society and use their floor scale this weekend. I hope he has dropped at least a pound or two.
Daisy is not on a diet. She actually gets a cup more food than Seuss.

We went to UPMC Healthworks on a fieldtrip today. We walked miles to get there and miles to get back and played and rock climbed and all sorts of stuff in the middle. It was fun but tiring. Some of the kids are only 5. They complained less than the older kids about the walk. It was a long day but we had fun.
